No more midgets please! Huge pass.

you dont ever look for a role player in first round (especially top 14 Lottery pick). You look for starter and if that doesnt work out fine he can be a role player.
But what if by some miracle, we obtain the first place in the draft??
Omg, Spurs talk will burst hahaha
Good question, I'm not exactly sure, but I would think not. I think the big difference between your numbers and these is that they differentiate between half court rim attempts and those taken in the setting of a fast break.
Obviously biggest caveat with these numbers is going to be the free throw rate as a confounding factor, which I wish this chart also included
Obviously not everyone’s cup of tea. But if this guy turns out to be a star, everyone will then regret it. There are very few ready-now players in this draft. Jase is a ready-now guy plus a lot more.
Top FTA Rate Players in this draft class
- Adou Thiero- 69.2
- Collin Murray-Boyles- 55.6
- Derik Queen- 54.6
- Jeremiah Fears- 51.8
- Cedric Coward- 50.8
- Kasparas Jakucionis- 49.6
- Mark Sears- 47.8
- Sion James- 46.1
- Yaxel Lendeborg- 44.9
- Cooper Flagg- 42.0
- Thomas Sorber- 42.0
- Dylan Harper- 41.9
- Jase Richardson- 41.8
- Liam Mcneely- 41.0
- Khaman Maluach- 40.3
These are the top 15 players at getting to the line in this draft class
I saw shocked at how incredibly low Sam Vecine had him in his last mock draft podcast (#26 to Orlando). I usually trust that guy among the most during this process, so that dampened my Jase interest.
Biggest concerns: small, one hand dominant, not a primary initiator at all, meh D, suspect passer, and loose handle.
It's almost mathematically impossible, but just for the fun of it, would you be happy or pissed if the Lottery turned out like this:
1. Hawks via Sac
2. Spurs
3. Spurs via Hawks
NBA combine starts today and lasts for a week. So Measurables, athletic testing, scrimmages, players talking about who they have met with/worked out with. Plenty of information will drop.
Dude, sign me up for that!
Yeessss!
Top questions for me from the perspective of the 8th pick:
- is Kon really 6’7?
- is Ace really 6’10? (Def will drop if not)
- Are Khaman’s hands truly bad?
- Will Bryant’s measurements exceed expectations?
Starters can be role players. The best 8th pick in the last 25 years is either Franz Wagner or Rudy Gay. Besides that all the 8th picks have been role players. This isn’t the NFL. The 8th picks in recent history haven’t been anything to write home about. Whoever we pick is going to be on the bench anyways. So this starter notion needs to be tossed out. Then you ask yourself, who has the tools if they put everything together to become a high end quality role player starter and to me that’s Bryant.
just to get everyone calibrated
If you go back previous years, the players measured at 6’6 to 6’6.75 without shoes play small forward and guys measured 6’7 to 6’8 without shoes play power forward.
Herbert Jones for example measured at exactly 6’6”
Wow! Jaku and Kon are both so good at the rim. Thank you Bill for the info!

Carter Bryant has a similar mold to Danny Green when I look at him. I just don't know if he can reach that level of percentage shooting from 3pt line.
If he can I would like him.
Some of his weaknesses give some concerns in the defensive end
At pick 14 I would go with him. I don't know about pick 8 though unless he just kills in the combine and in workouts with teams
What HC mean for HC RIM efficiency?
Also, not sure I'd want to go with Carter Bryant at 8 (hopefully the Spurs get in the top 4, though, and don't have to worry about this). I'd agree with HankC and only take him at 14 if he's still there (most likely won't be, though). Not really sure who I'd want at 8. I would like someone that can at least shoot a little bit, but would prefer someone that can put pressure getting to the rim and score inside (as long as they're not a poor shooter, just need them to at least be an average 3 point shooter).
Would be awesome, but I'd hope Flagg goes east and not to Sacramento.
The Sac pick is top 12 protected, so ATL loses out in this case
